My (32F) husband (32M) thinks his financial contributions count as household chores.

"Split inversely chores/financial contribution" (without separating $$ vs time) only means that you are simply treating your partner like a paid employee.

Ok, let me clarify.

I pay for literally everything: The house is paid off (there's no mortgage), hydro, electric, food, vacations that we go on every few months, etc. I have no problem doing this. Why? Because if we split proportional to income, I'd still be paying for everything! I have a hard time believing many people would turn this down when I'm not asking for much in return.

Not many people have this kind of wealth disparity in a relationship so we're kind of a special case? We've been together way before my financial success and have had no issues. I don't hold it over her head.
